Chapter 387 The royal relatives suffered heavy losses, broke down and cried!

   "Your Majesty! Please the imperial court uphold justice for us. We were all deceived by the stock of the royal family. They deceived my ministers so badly! Woohoo!"

  At this moment outside the palace, Li Chengming, Marquis of Wuqing, began to cry first.

  As a descendant of Emperor Wanli’s grandfather Li Wei, he has a close relationship with Tianqi, so naturally he wants the emperor to get back the money he invested.

  Apocalypse's uncle Xincheng Hou Wangsheng even threatened directly: "Your Majesty, you must be the master of the subject. If the money is not recovered, the subject will not want to live!"

Bocheng Bo Guo Weicheng, the father of Empress Zhu Changluo, also cried and said at this time: "Your Majesty, the world is bright, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, that dog thief surnamed Wang is so defrauding people of money. It is obvious that he intends to raise troops to rebel. You can't ignore it." !"

  Zhang Gui, Tian Qi and the others could also clearly hear the shouts from outside.

  However, Zhang Gui has no sympathy for these people. In his opinion, these people deserve to be cheated.

   But in Zhang Gui's view, this does not mean that the court can ignore this matter.

   After all, maintaining internal stability is also a very important matter for the Ming court.

  The matter of the Wang family's stock has caused trouble for the court, and it is impossible for the court not to settle accounts with him.

As for the matter of the Wang family stock, Zhang Gui had to admit again that there are still smart people among the Han people who deceived their compatriots. defraud others of their money.

For this reason, Zhang Gui first said: "Of course we have to take care of it, but I believe that the main and accomplices who committed this scam can only be arrested and brought to justice. As for the money they defrauded, they may not be able to recover." Presumably these crooks have laundered the money they cheated, turned it into other property, or spent it. In addition, even if some are recovered, it is impossible to verify who the money belongs to. After all, many powerful bureaucrats who bought stocks It was entrusted to someone else to buy it, or even fabricated some identities, and if the court recovered it, it would be difficult to know who should give the recovered money based on the evidence on the surface, and because it is difficult to recover all the money, I am afraid It can’t stop everyone’s losses, only some people can stop their losses. But only some people can stop their losses, which is prone to accidents. After all, it’s human nature not to worry about shortages but about unevenness.”

   "Your Majesty, I think what Uncle Guo said is that all the stolen money recovered can only be returned to the state treasury, and it is declared that it cannot be recovered. And as long as the fraudsters are brought to justice, it is considered as an account to the deceived."

  Shangshu Bi Ziyan echoed Zhang Gui's opinion.

   Tianqi nodded: "Anyway, this one may not be recovered, even if it is a person, it may not be able to find it. Let's do it like this."

Zhang Gui said again: "Now that this incident has happened, in my opinion, it is a good opportunity to issue an edict prohibiting private stock issuance to raise funds. It is obvious that such a move is suspected of rebelling against the world, and it should be strictly prohibited." Only the Shiyi Division of the Imperial Household Department can approve which industries can issue stocks, and the Shiyi Division will issue stocks on its behalf. This can be regarded as being watched by the people of the court and the world, and see which industries are real and not fraudulent. After all, nowadays It seems that the matter of raising funds to benefit the whole people can only be presided over by the imperial court, and private individuals can never be relied on. But the imperial court is different, if the imperial court loses its trust, it means losing the world."

  Tianqi replied after hearing this: "Very good! Let's do it like this!"

   "Follow the order!"

   Then, Tian Qi still instructed Zhang Gui: "The mastermind behind the Wang family's stocks, you Xichang still have to investigate carefully, so as to save these royal relatives from coming to me if they have nothing to make noise."

   "I understand, Your Majesty, don't worry, I will find out who is behind the scenes."

  Zhang Gui agreed.

  Tian Qi nodded: "Then you go to see them, I won't go, I don't want to hear them arguing in my ears, I will continue to try the steam engine developed with Song Yingxing and the others."

"yes!"

   Zhang Gui is also walking towards the outside of Xiyuan.

  Just as soon as he left Xiyuan, Wu Qinghou and other dignitaries surrounded him and asked Zhang Gui in one go.

   "Uncle Guo, what does His Majesty say? Does he care about our affairs?"

   "Uncle Guo, you are in charge of the West Factory and are responsible for investigating major cases involving money and taxes. This time, the Wang family's stock fraud is the matter of the West Factory. You have to be the master for us!"

   "Yes, Uncle Guo, don't look at anything else, just because my father and I are movie friends, you should help me get the coffin back for the old man, right?! Huh!"

  …

  Zhang Gui didn't speak all the time, and after these people finished speaking, he said: "Your Majesty has asked Xichang to investigate this matter immediately, everyone, don't worry! But..."

   After Zhang Gui spoke earnestly for a long time, these people were willing to leave.

As far as they are concerned, they naturally hate people who deceive them like this, so they all expressed their support for Zhang Gui's statement that the imperial court will strictly investigate and strictly prohibit private stock offerings in the future, and they only hope that Zhang Gui's West Factory will remain the same. Those who can find out the royal family for them and recover their money.

  Zhang Gui first vaccinated these people, saying that he might be found out, but he might not be able to recover the owed money.

These dignitaries and bureaucrats also understand the truth of this, so they say it's okay, even if they can't get back, it's nothing, they can only admit that they are unlucky, and regret that they didn't let the court end to investigate the truth of the matter first, but were only caught in the short-term. Attracted by the large dividends in the company.

   It is actually not difficult for Zhang Gui to find out the mastermind behind the Wang family stocks.

  Because Zhang Gui had asked Xichang to keep an eye on this Wang family stock for a long time, and also learned from Zhao Shichun that it turned out that Zhao Shichun was the mastermind behind this Wang family stock.

It turned out that Zhao Shichun, after seeing his uncle Zhang Gui make a fortune by using the stock that discovered the Maoshan Iron Mine, followed the gourd and instigated a Shanxi native named Wang Bin to start making this kind of coal mine on the grounds that he discovered a large coal mine. He started a big fraud case, and took the opportunity to put more money into Zhao Shichun's pocket.

  So, Zhang Gui interrogated Zhao Shichun overnight and asked, "Tell me, where will Wang Bin hide?"

  Zhao Shichun was shocked when he heard this, and asked: "Uncle Guo, why do you ask this? Didn't you say that you only want money?"

   "Who told you that the grand master only wants money?!"

  Zhang Gui asked seriously.

"This this…"

After hearing this, Zhao Shichun wronged himself, like a child who found out that he had been tricked, pursed his mouth, and cried: "Uncle Guo, don't take such a bully! I can give you a lot of money, but you can't let it go." Do we have a way out?"

"cannot!"

  Zhang Gui replied loudly.

  Zhao Shichun yelled outright, and said: "Uncle Zhang! Why bother? Everyone is seeking profit. What good will it do you if you ask the bottom line like this?!"

   "In order to let the court swallow the large amount of stolen money you defrauded from the powerful and gentry more openly, and benefit the further opening to the outside world, is this reason enough?"

   Zhang Gui asked.

  Zhao Shichun asked puzzledly: "Don't you think about yourself?"

  Zhang Guidao: "It's because I think about myself that I want Da Ming to prosper for a longer time."

  After hearing this, Zhao Shichun knew that he could no longer persuade Zhang Gui, so he said, "Okay, let me tell you."

  …

  So, an hour later, Liu Zongmin from Xichang led people to surround a nunnery on the outskirts of the city, and walked to a meditation room, and asked several monks and nuns who were drinking and joking here: "Who is Wang Bin?"

  At this time, a fat monk hurriedly pointed to the buttock under the table: "He is, he is about to get in!"
